Overview
Cancer Focus:
Lung Cancer, Mesothelioma, ThymomaDr. Dilling's primary clinical focus is the radiotherapeutic treatment of thoracic malignancies. Dr. Dilling’s research interests focus around the use of “Big Data” and artificial intelligence to generate novel insights into patient treatment and toxicity. To that end, he has curated a database of thousands of patients who have received radiotherapy to the lung at Moffitt (millions of data points). This data set is among the largest/most complex clinical data sets on radiotherapy patients in the world.

Patient Comments
116 patients rated this provider
The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.
Provider Ratings and comments are gathered from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. If a provider does not have ratings or comments listed it can be for several reasons, including:
